For real!
TakaraTomy Mall listing:
http://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810842613/
Due out late February next year, limited edition of 2000 and appears to be a TTM exclusive.
Well crap. Years of saying i'd never purchase these if they happened all discarded in an instant :D
why make this a limited edition???????????
Hasbro better pick it up
Oh my, that was unexpected! Here I was just considering getting one of the reissues of the G1 coneheads and this happens.
I need to change my underwear
PC please get it.
Very nice but with the sudden flood of MPs, my wallet has now gone on strike.
1. About time we had more Decepticons (Shockwave's announcement was pretty good for this too).
2. About time we started getting coneheads.
He looks perfect, except for the voids in his wrists where the hands fold away to.
I'm with Screamer, why would they make this limited release? Its one of the main characters, its like making ironhide limited release.
Oh well time for some refresh wars when PC get it I assume.
Well limited probably because they cannot push out that many and just take 2k as a cut off for now. I very much doubt this won't float on.
Yes after years of not another seeker this is what the public wanted.
I may skip this as I have to remind myself that I wanted to collect the cars and maybe one of two more characters.
I'm hoping limited does not equate to ridiculously expensive. There surely can't be much doubt now that Thrust and Dirge are coming at some point.
The TakaraTomy Mall site ran through translate has a line "This product is scheduled to be sold in Asia", so i wouldn't worry too much.
I'd imagine their line of thinking is that only a small subset of the most dedicated fans will want to pick up all 6, and in Japan the popularity of Transformers isn't all that great either.
If not exclusive (can't imagine why it would be though), I'm a bit meh. He looks kind of fugly, different to the stubby cartoon model.
Haha so true. Why make a new core G1 character a limited run exclusive? Remember the craziness of the Thundercracker pre order? This will blow that away. I was quick to the draw last time, better load up the laptop!Quote:

The fact he is exclusive doesn't help.
Nice!
Apparently he's USD135.00 and no one on TFW mentioned exclusiveness.
All past TakaraTomyMall exclusives were released by Hasbro HK so look out at HK sources and any local sources that get stock from there.
woah!
Nice to see the best conehead get made first, hope he can wear the chunky missiles on his arms!
That looks beautiful, I'm not sure where I'm getting it from but I am getting it.
PC has gone international so is going to be way harder than mp11tQuote:

I'm getting sick of all these expensive and hard to procure limited releases. I could accept Thundercracker since another version of him had a wide release and I was just too broke to get him. Ramjet should be a wide release and I hope down the track he ends up as such
Well screw down my nipplenuts and send me to Alaska. I was almost going to jump on the 3P ones not long ago. Hopefully this gets a wider release. 2000 is not enough to make all the fans happy
Wasn't it noted that it's going to be available in Asia? That means it's a case of 2,000 for Japan only, and exclusively through TT Mall.Quote:

What - so Japan gets 2000 Ramjets and the rest of Asia is going to get plenty?Quote:

2000 units is just the Japanese release.
The quantity released by Hasbro HK for Asia is never known, but must be significantly more for a number of HK online sources (and Australian outlets that get HK stock) to have plenty of stock.
Good to know. Thanks for clearing that up!Quote:

They should charge $100 (same as AU RRP for MP(3) Starscream and Acid Rain (Sunstorm too? Don't remember...)) -- although TRU are currently charging $150 for MP(11) Starscream, so I guess that might be a more reasonable expectation from TRU. (-_-) $150 is still too much, but beats paying nearly $200, and that's not even factoring in the cost of shipping.
From PC's new items thread:
Not sure if this means today but good luck to those trying. Don't forget someone on the board mentioned it is faster to have payment details saved so checkout is faster which hopefully means no disappearing in cart items.Quote:

I would just probaby wait for someone in this forum to sell a 2nd hand unit. =)
Bout time I say. It was the simplest thing for them to do and it's taken them way too long.
Pre ordered from PC:)
This guy is now available at Premium Collectables - $185.
Just picked one up!!!
The toys and packaging are the same.Quote:
